Rahu kaalam or Rahu Kaal is a certain amount of time every day that is considered inauspicious for any new venture according to Vedic astrology. In Hindu mythology, Rahu Kaalam is one of the eight segments of the day and considered inauspicious period in Indian astrology due to its associated with malefic Rahu . This period is ruled by Rahu. Rahu kaalam differs from place to place depending upon Sunrise and Sunset time. According to Vedic astrology a person should not undertake any new journey, work, job, interview, marriage, business dealing, sale or purchase of any assets. It will not give good results. Every day this Rahu kaalam lasts for around one and half hours (90 minutes) but the duration differs according to the length of the time between sunrise to sunset.
To calculate Rahu kaalam, the day duration from Sunrise to Sunset, at a particular location is divided into eight equal parts. There is no Rahu Kaalam during the first period of any weekday. On Sunday it falls on 8th period, Monday 2nd period, Saturday 3rd period, Friday 4th period, Wednesday 5th period, Thursday 6th period and Tuesday 7th period. Rahu kaalam and Yama Ghandam are the two time periods which are especially considered inauspicious for any new undertakings.
Rahu Kaalam Calculation :
Example : Sunrise 6:00 a.m. Sunset 6:00 p.m. 1/8 of Day = 90 minutes
how can you calculate today's rahu kalam? I live in England. The sun rose at 05:09AM and it will set at 20:45PM

ReplyDeleteआपने जो लिखा है काफी अच्छा है इसमें थोड़े से संशोधन की जरुरत है अंजना दी राहू काल के लिए स्थानिक सुर्योदय से सूर्यास्त के बीच के समय में बदलाव के कारण ये राहू काल भी बदल जाता है क्योकि स्थानिक समय पर उदित और अस्त सूर्य के समय में अंतर होता है तो राहू काल में समय के अंतर को कैसे देखेगे जैसे यदि किसी स्थान पर सूर्योदय ०५-१० पर हुआ है तो गाडना अनुसार सूर्यास्त १२-०० - ०५-१०= ०६-५० एसी अवस्था राहू काल की समय १-३० मिनट जो है वो किस तरह से किया जाये इस पर भी अपना प्रकाश डाले
yes anjanaji i agree to nitinji he is right local time should be considered. but i know u have written in general prospective.
ReplyDeleteI have mentioned clearly "Rahu kaalam differs from place to place depending upon Sunrise and Sunset time."
ReplyDeleteyes i agree with anjna ji
ReplyDeleteRahu is a naturally malefic planet which is always in retrograde (backwards) motion in the zodiac. I heard much about rahu effects from http://youtu.be/gXCE21sknqw
